Let's get MPs talking about Rejoining! We can give them 3 hours to tell the Government directly we want to Rejoin by getting 100,000 signatures by June (currently over 65,000): 'Apply to Rejoin the EU asap to increase growth in the UK' petition.parliament.uk/petitions/749128 #RejoinPetition3

There are nearly twice as many dead in Iran as those who lost their lives on 9/11. How many more does Trump and Netanyahu want. All life is sacred whether it is an American, Israeli or Iranian.

The line that Thatcher tried to kill. Portillo (the freemarketeer who seems to have made a good living from the state own BBC) claims to have save it - I am sceptical. The scenery is spectacular, it at one of end of train and watch the other end as you go over the viaduct. Shortly after the/

I am against antisemitism. Having said that, I would have more respect for the Chief Rabbi if he had called out Israel's genocide in Gaza.

I agree with John Major. We have had the media setting the agenda for changing prime ministers, particularly since 2016 with short stays for May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak. The latter of these two, like Brown and Home never won an election. If a ruling party changes leader/

Talk about stating the bleeding obvious:

The Secret Service is just glad they won’t look like fools for a few days, but expectant widow Melania is said to be “distraught” by the announcement. Oh well, Trump can’t please everyone, can he? www.normalisland.co.uk/p/trump-canc...

Time to 'Windfall' Tax the profits of the oil companies and before the Daily Mail gets indignant, Thatcher, that paragon of socialism🤣 did it to the banks.

More episodes of the Bully Playbook

How to make the UK look needy and pathetic:

This is good economic news. However, lets remember the level of borrowing is still extremely high. £132 billion in a year and yet the Daily Mail, Telegraph and Murdoch press all call for us to reduce taxes and thereby borrow more or cut public services.

It's always interesting seeing Ed Davey taking the high ground - I wonder if he ever says to himself 'What if I had done something about the Horizon Scandal'. The Coalition junior partners were so bolstered by being in power.

Isn't the real reason that the British right-wing press (News International, Mail and Telegraph) is that they are afraid that he is too much like a moderate and they cannot label him as an extreme 'leftie'. They really want a Conservative puppet that they can manipulate.

What an unfair statement. Given that for 14 years we had Conservative under-investment in Defence. Let's face it politicians are always faced with the decision 'Arms or Jam' and hoping that nothing will go wrong go for the expedient Jam. Prior to the Falklands, Thatcher was the worst.

I can understand why Tehran will not accept the US capitulation and suing for peace.

If Putin had been campaigning in another country's election it would have been called 'political interference.' I wonder what the term is for Vance on the trail for Oban in Hungary?

Unbelievable. King Charles is STILL set to fly to the US to celebrate with Trump in April. With everything Trump is saying and doing right now - and the hate and chaos he's spreading - this trip must be cancelled. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

... I despair at the Guardian:

Perhaps Trump should consider this before he does any more railing against other countries who may be importing from the USA:

Perhaps as the second largest investor in the USA, along with its Europe colleague, the UK should be advising business to withdraw then investments in the country? Let's see how the financial markets react to this bullying ar*ehole. Then thank Trump for his military support in the Falklands & Suez

It says something about the current leadership of the USA that you believe was the Iranians say in preference to the President

Golfing and a trip to Gracelands by a President who has sent the US's military into combat, this is hardly believable.

Mearsheimer argues that engaging in a conflict without a well-defined long-term strategy can undermine America’s credibility and reveal serious weaknesses in its decision-making Rather than projecting strength he believes the escalation exposes flawed judgment and strategic uncertainty in Washington

Two Boris Johnson appointments:

Bullies don't like countries who stand up to them and bow to their beg and call.

Let's be quite clear MI5 did not pay 'Beth' compensation, it doesn't have any money, it was the taxpayers who footed the bill.They also paid the salary of a Neo Nazi member of staff who they tried to defend in court by discrediting Beth - haven't we a right to know that there were sackings for this?

I had a look at today's newspaper front pages and was surprised that the warmongering right-wing press wasn't crucifying Starmer after Trump's comments yesterday. But surprisingly they are not, I wonder if for all their jingoism that they have realised that the public in the UK is against the war.

Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20 Legendary Singer Neil Young has removed all his albums from Amazon Music due to founder Jeff Bezos and his support for Donald Trump. RETWEET to thank @NeilYoung for standing up for our democracy!

To cheer is up in these depressing times, let's have a bit of Noel Coward www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSA5...

It will be lovely to see Johnson reunited with Laura Kuenssberg today to give his insight on putting non-combat troops into Ukraine. I wonder if she will press him on why he didn't do it when he was PM, although I think it's more likely she just makes eyes at him?

Have the house prices dropped in Prince Andrew Way in Epsom?

The patronising and controlling Donald Trump has told the UK it is dangerous for us to trade with China. For those who voted Brexit because they wanted sovereignty back for the UK they should consider that leaving a Union 50% bigger than the USA makes us weaker. They should also consider that/

The mutual defence clause of NATO has only been used once and that was by the USA (despite Trump's lies). He has also denigrated our armed services who served in Afghanistan. I am pleased to see there has been cross party condemnation of his comments, here are two by Conservative MP's

The Prime Minister of Belgium speaks:

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

I wonder if his horses have remained loyal to the Conservative? I also wonder what reception new immigrants following in the footsteps of Zahawi would get.

The ignorance of the Trump Administration in not caring about the consequences of their actions and how America and the it population are seen in the free world, which no longer contains the USA is breathtaking.

Has Benito Trump invaded Ethiopia/Abyssinia today or has his territorial ambitions paused for the day so that he can declare he should be the rightful recipient of the Nobel Prize for Peace?
